Pretoria

July 5, 2008

"OK, now something happened. In free time during the morning I played kickball and read more of That Hideous Strength, which is going slowly due to the copious notes I'm taking. Half of the athletes ran, and the other half made conditioning stations in the courtyard and worked out that way.
In the afternoon, we took a trip to a huge mall to get on the internet and buy things that we forgot. Here's a couple photos:


Um, yea, there are malls like this in South Africa. This one was about six stories tall and had a skateboard park on the top.

Then, we looked at the executive building in Pretoria and walked around some amazing public gardens. The city of Pretoria filled the skyscape. Again, pictures tell the story:


Oh, and I tweaked my knee in a race through the gardens, it's not so great.
